Issue 117 - Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast

Well Balanced - Well BeingColleen Sanders-Symanski R.N.Helen and Dr. S. James Shafer on fitness,nutrition and sense of well-beingVisit us for all your medical needs!Perkins MedicalSupplyIt was an enjoyable interview thatbegan with talking with Helen and Dr.S. James Shafer in their home gym andconcluded with meeting Einstein therooster and feeding the chicks soon tobe big and strong enough for survival intheir own house. But I will have to putEinstein and the chicks on hold for themoment.It is difficult to talk about Helen or Dr.Shafer separately as they are very much ateam busy with a neurology practice andleadership in the medical community,operating Einstein’s Bros Bagels, enjoyingtheir children and grandchildrenand fundraising activities. Helen wasa tennis player and Dr. Shafer was doingbodybuilding when they met. Theysoon found a common fitness activitythey loved doing together. In fact, theycelebrated their 20th anniversary doingthe Iron Man competition in LakePlacid in 2008; just one of many competitions.I had to ask about the triathlonand marathon photos and medals onthe wall in their gym as they are humbleabout them. Their accomplishments intough competitions are evident and explainwhy their day starts at 4:30 am.Helen and Dr. Shafer shared with metheir passion of fitness, nutrition andsense of well-being. While their commitmentis personal, their willingness toshare and inspire others is not.Healthy eating, being active and realisticgoal setting are fundamental to theShafer’s successes and what they desireto teach others. Dr. Shafer emphasizesto eat healthy, frequently, have smallerportions, and to eat a variety of foods.As owners of Einstein Bros Bagels, theyeven make it easy for their customers toeat healthy. Just check out the “SmartChoices” on their menu. My favoriteis the “Asparagus, Mushroom & Swiss”on whole wheat with honey bagel thin.They also recommend setting realisticgoals and to making a commitment toyourself. Starting with realistic regularlyscheduled exercise builds in the habit ofmaking exercise a normal part of one’sday. Do more - just even for five minutes.Dr. Shafer also recommends increasingyour physical activity by just five minutesa day and gradually doing more. Addingsmall increments of time to your dailyexercise regimen over a period of timewill generate great results. It is apparentthat being healthy and active is a bondfor them and worth emulating.My interview concluded with helpingDr. Shafer feed the chicks they arenurturing for fresh eggs and to also giveEinstein, the rooster, company. Livingfully is definitely of value to Helen andDr. Shafer as well as caring for others.• Complete Medical Equipment• 24 Hour Oxygen Service• Service • Rental • Repairs • Beds • Sales• Seat Lift Chairs • Scooters • Wheelchairs• Diabetic • Orthopedic • Ostomy Products• Bathroom Safety Equipment“Perkins Medical Supply is my go to place for all my medical supplies includingbandages, flexible wraps, compression stockings, walking canes, heatingpads, ice packs, bio freeze and much more.

Refractive surgery, also knownas LASIK Laser Vision Correction, cancorrect nearsightedness, farsightedness,and astigmatism. Dr. David O’Brien atthe New Vision Laser Center is IndianRiver County’s only fellowship trainedrefractive surgeon and is board certifiedto perform LASIK by the AmericanBoard of Eye Surgeons. Dr. O’Brien explainsthere are three refractive surgeryprocedures to choose from, depending on your particular issue.• LASIK customizes the unique characteristics of each eye which allows Dr. O’Briento customize your laser vision correction procedure. The Wavefront Optimized LaserVision Correction treatment considers the unique curvature of your eye, preservingthe quality of your vision and addressing the spherical distortions that may cause glareand affect night vision.• AST, an advanced surface treatment takes laser vision correction to a new level.AST is an especially good option for people who have been previously advised thattheir eyes are not suitable for LASIK or whose active lifestyles may have precludedthem from having LASIK in the past.• NearVision CK can help patients with farsightedness, or hyperopia, a conditionin which the eye is too flat. CK modifies the surface curvature, making it steeper andtherefore improving vision. Using radiofrequency (RF) energy, NearVision CK canchange how the eye focuses light by reshaping the cornea to make it steeper.If you are wearing glasses for distance and have no health issues with your eyes youare probably a perfect candidate for one of the three refractive surgical procedures. Dr.O’Brien takes the time to discuss with patients the options and possible side effects sothey can make the best informed decision regarding vision correction.Clinical research has been a large part of Dr. O’Brien’s training and his research incorneal disease and refractive surgery has been published in national and internationalophthalmic literature. He is the Medical Director of the Laser Center at the NewVision Eye Center, chosen as an FDA investigational center for advanced study ofcontinued on page 42Call today for your COMPLIMENTARY consultationwith Dr. O’Brien to see if you are a candidate for laservision correction at 772.257.8700 or visit their websitewww.NewVisionEyeCenter.comHeartbeat of the Treasure CoastHeartbeat of the Treasure Coast6 7

SRMCInnovative Surgical RobotAssists Surgeons in Hip andKnee ReplacementOn Thursday, February 7, Sebastian River Medical Centerperformed the first surgeries in Indian River County usingMAKOplasty ® Partial Knee Resurfacing and MAKOplasty ®Total Hip Replacement procedures, performed using the RIO ®Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic System marketed by MAKOSurgical Corp. RIO is a surgeon-controlled robotic arm systemthat enables accurate alignment and placement of implants.“Accuracy is key in planning andperforming both partial knee and totalhip procedures,” said Dr. Omar Hussamy,Orthopedic Surgeon. “For a goodoutcome you need to align and positionthe implants just right. I use theMAKO RIO to personalize the partialknee and total hip arthroplasties I performin order to achieve optimal resultsat a level of accuracy that was previouslyunattainable with conventional instrumentation.”The RIO System features a patientspecificvisualization system and proprietarytactile robotic arm technology thatis integrated with intelligent surgicalinstruments. It assists surgeons in preplanningand in treating each patientuniquely and with consistently reproducibleprocedure.MAKOplasty Partial Knee Resurfacingis a treatment option for adults livingwith early to mid-stage osteoarthritisthat has not yet progressed to all threecompartments of the knee. It is lessinvasive than traditional total knee surgery.A pre-surgical plan is created basedon a CT scan of the patient’s own knee,and the surgeon uses the robotic armduring surgery to resurface the diseasedportion of the knee, sparing healthybone and surrounding tissue for a morenatural feeling knee. An implant is thensecured in the joint to allow the knee tomove smoothly again.During MAKOplasty Total Hip Replacementsurgery, RIO provides visualizationof the joint and biomechanicaldata to guide the bone preparation andDr. Omar Hussamy, Orthopedic Surgeonimplant positioning to match the presurgicalplan. After first preparing thefemur or thighbone, the surgeon usesthe robotic arm to accurately ream andshape the acetabulum socket in the hip,and then implant the cup at the correctdepth and orientation. The surgeonthen implants the femoral implant.MAKOplasty offers the confidence ofmore accurate cup placement and accurateleg length restoration.”We are proud to be the first to usethis innovative technology in IndianRiver County,” said Steven Salyer, CEOof Sebastian River Medical Center. “It ispart of our commitment to provide ourcommunity with access to the latest surgicaltechniques and ultimately, the bestpossible healthcare.”To learn more about the benefits ofMAKOplasty, register to attend a free informationalseminar by calling 888-671-7762or log onto www.sebastianrivermedical.com.772-589-3186 • 13695 U.S. Highway 1 • Sebastian • www.sebastianrivermedical.com8 Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast9

DISEASE PREVENTIONColleen Sanders-Symanski R.N.An Emergency Room Physician’sPassion for PreventionWhen Dr. Dirk Parvus isn’t treatingmedical emergencies at SRMC he isbusy running marathons, volunteeringin the Haiti clinic, the “Power of Many”,and practicing disease prevention in hisVero Beach office. Dr. Parvus believesmost patients seen in emergency roomshave diseases that are preventable; suchas coronary artery disease, chronic inflammation,type II diabetes, musclewasting, osteoarthritis, and diseases associatedin aging due to increased lifeexpectancies.Dr. Parvus explained that the first lineof medicine for him is disease preventionmedicine. Though, vibrant and active,he noticed a decline in his athleticendurance and over-all slowing downoften associated with being 50 years old.This was the catalyst for his pursuit oflearning more about hormones and agingside effects; a rather complex processthat begins silently for many in their 30’sand 40’s. He points out to my glassesand explains that decline in visual acuityis one of the first signs of aging. (He waskind not to mention the graying of myhair and fine facial lines)As the body ages, less hormones areproduced which can have a negative effecton the body. Estrogens, progesterone, testosterone,and DHEA decline as we age.Keeping hormones at an optimal levelare beneficial in slowing down disease. Adecrease in hormone levels stimulates thebody to adjust by slowing down its functions.Hormone replacement therapycan reignite interest in life and increasevitality byreversing ordelaying theeffects of aging.Dr. Parvusand his certifiedlife style educatorshelp individualswanting betterhormone levelsand healthythrough bioidenticalhormonereplacement; hormonesprescribedare chemicallyidentical to thoseyour bodyproduces andare soy or yambased. What’s great is that Dr. Parvususes an individualized, natural, patientcenteredapproach that begins with acomprehensive assessment, hormonelevel testing and education on dietaryand lifestyle changes. Every patientreceives regular follow-up and support.I encourage attending one of Dr. Parvus’slectures as he is an interesting andinteractive lecturer. You can also call andschedule a complimentary consultation.The Parvus center is located at 148537th street, suite 211 and the telephonenumber is 564-7887. Visit his websiteat www.parvuscenter.com.

YOUR PHARMACISTelp At Home WhenFamilies Need It Most ©772-410-3581All Employees Background Screened & InsuredNightingale Private Duty Nursing is a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of the VNA of the Treasure Coastby Theresa Tolle, R.PH,Owner Bay Street Pharmacy & Home Health CareCompounding Pharmacies –Providing Medication with a Personal TouchYou have probably read or heard alot about compounding pharmacies inthe media in the past year, and mostof it has been very negative. The mostrecent incident that continues to receivea lot of attention was New EnglandCompounding Center (NECC),a pharmacy that has been linked tohundreds of cases of fungal meningitisand over 50 deaths. While this case isvery tragic, it is important to “set therecord straight” and define what a traditionalcompounding pharmacy doesand how it differentiates from what hashappened in this case.Compounding (Compounding pharmacy)(also pharmaceutical compounding and compoundingpharmacy) is the mixture of chemicals prepared by apharmacist based on a prescription by a prescriber foran individual patient’s needs.standards for sterile compounding beingmuch more strict. In the NECCcase, it also appears to be a failure ofthe state board of pharmacy in Massachusettsto proper investigate complaintsthat it had received. This hascertainly generated many changes atthe state and federal levels to make regulationsmore uniform and to ensuresafety to the patient.Compounding is actually the “roots”of pharmacy and is the way medicationswere prepared prior to pharmaceuticalmanufacturing and mass production.However, today there are still manyCompounding is the mixture ofchemicals prepared by a pharmacistbased on a prescription by a prescriberfor an individual patient’s needs. This“triad” of the prescriber-pharmacist-patientrelationship is KEY to compounding.If a compounded medication isprepared and it is NOT specific to anindividual patient or prescription, particularlyif it is being prepared in large“batches”, it could be considered manufacturing.Although we are waitingfinal investigation results in the NECCcase, it certainly appears that this pharmacywas manufacturing and in violatingof the triad relationship.Pharmacies that compound are regulatedby their state boards of pharmacyand also by federal guidelines USP 795for non-sterile compounding and USP797 for sterile compounding, with theinstances where compounding makessense and is even life saving! Some examplesinclude: 1) changing medicationsto a dosage form that is easier to take(i.e. tablet to liquid), 2) preparing medicationswithout certain preservatives orcolors for patients who are allergic, 3)creating a strength of a medication thatis not commercially available and manyother examples. Compounded prescriptionsare often prescribed for hormonereplacement, hospice, pediatrics, andeven veterinary uses.I hope this summary of compoundinghelps shed a new light on how beneficialthis integral part of the professionof pharmacy is and how it can benefitmany patients in need.

ORTHOPAEDICSHip Resurfacing: An Alternative to HipReplacementRichard Steinfeld, MD, MBA, FAAOSMarcus J. Malone, MDRichard Steinfeld, MDORTHOPAEDIC CENTER OFVERO BEACHOrthopaedic Update: Treatment withTotal Knee ReplacementContinuing to improve pain relief for post op care following total knee replacement isan ongoing goal of orthopaedic surgeons. A combination of techniques utilizing spinalanesthetic and femoral nerve block is very safe. The spinal anesthetic allows the patientto breathe on their own and avoids nausea and vomiting post op. With the addition ofthe femoral nerve block this gives excellent relief of pain. Patients now use compressioncold/heat therapy which can be very beneficial for quicker recovery with less pain.Patient Specific Knees and Gender Specific Knees are new advancements in jointreplacement technology. Patient Specific Knees are generated from MRI and x-rays toproduce exact knee models. These models are used to create patient specific cuttingblocks that the surgeon uses in the operating room. If proper alignment is achieved,a prosthesis may last 25 years. Gender Specific Knees are total knee replacementcomponents designed for the male and female anatomy. This allows better fit andalignment of components.Richard Steinfeld, MD is a fellow of the American Academy of OrthopaedicSurgeons and is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. Hisorthopaedic practice includes sports injuries, hip, knee, and shoulder reconstruction,general orthopaedics including foot, ankle, hand surgery, and fracture care.Dr. Steinfeld also specializes in advanced and leading technologies such as HipResurfacing. Resurfacing of the hip joint is a bone preserving approach that offersyounger, active patients the ability to live pain-free and engage in most activities. Theworn surfaces of the hip are resurfaced with a smooth metal cap and socket withoutviolating the bone normally removed with a hip replacement. From an activitystandpoint, hip resurfacing allows most patients to return to more active lifestylesincluding impact activities such as tennis, running, skiing, etc.EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS:A Non-Surgical Approach To ReduceBack PainMarcus J.

GUARDIANSHIPBy Sarah Elmasian, MS, NCG, GCMGuardianship:A way to care for our most venerable residentsGuardianship is based upon the ideathat a society needs to take care of thosewho are venerable and unable to care forthemselves. Guardianship occurs whenan individual is declared legally incapacitatedby the court, has no advanceddirectives and needs assistance to keepthem safe and from being exploited.Guardianship is a legal procedure inwhich the court finds a person’s abilityto make decisions so impaired dueto mental or physical disabilities thattheir rights are granted to another person.Most of the time, a family memberor friend will become their guardian.However, when there is no family memberor friend to become the guardian, orfamilies disagree about their care or themanagement of their property, a professionalguardian is appointed.The professional guardian is a surrogatedecision maker in personal, healthcare, and financial matters for the incapacitatedWard of the court. The incapacitatedperson still retains the rightto dignity, privacy, and quality care, butother rights are given to the guardianto perform with court oversight andapproval. In many cases, the guardianmust petition and seek a court order toact on behalf of the ward. The Guardianis charged with making sure thatthe Ward is safe and to act in their bestinterest while respecting their wishes asmuch as possible. They can apply forbenefits on behalf of the ward and monitorhealth care and placement based ona court approved plan of care.If you know of a person you believeis unsafe or may be exploited, you cancall a registered guardian to assess thesituation. If the person is unsafe, theguardian will contact an attorney to filea petition for Emergency TemporaryGuardianship with the court to immediatelycare for the person. The courtwill then investigate and decide if a permanentGuardian should be appointed.continued on page 4238 Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast Heartbeat of the Treasure Coast39

Guardianshipcontinued from page 38SRMC - Heart Center OpensDuring this 60 day investigation period,the alleged incapacitated person is appointedan attorney to represent them,a team of three professionals comprisingan examining committee assess the person,and all next of kin are notified. Ahearing is held where the Judge reviewsall information and hears from familyand others, and then makes a decision.The costs of the petition and hearingare usually paid out of the incapacitatedperson’s funds. It is important to notethat in most cases guardianship can beavoided with proper estate planningthat includes at least an advance directivethat names a POA of the propertyand a healthcare POA.Professional guardians have completedFlorida requirements which includeeducational courses, examinations, stateregistration, bonding, FBI backgroundand credit checks. Some Guardianshave completed additional course workand are Nationally Certified Guardians,(NCG) and a few are also ProfessionalGeriatric Care Managers. Their compensationis determined by the court asthey petition for their fees.The Florida Department of Elder Affairs,Statewide Public Guardianship Officemaintains a list of registered Guardiansthat you can assess at their website.On the Treasure Coast, there are sevenProfessional Guardians- four who live inIndian River County and three that livein Martin County. Most are members ofthe Florida State Guardianship Associationand the Treasure Coast GuardianshipAssociation. Using a local Guardianis more cost effective, as travel costs(mileage and time) are minimal.Sarah Elmasian is President of PrivateGuardian Inc. and is a Florida RegisteredGuardian, a National CertifiedGuardian (NCG) and a ProfessionalGeriatric Care Manager (NAPGCM).To give guardianship a voice on theTreasure Coast, she was co-founder ofthe Treasure Coast Guardianship Association,the twelfth and newest affiliateOf the Florida State GuardianshipAssociation.
